"You must be Dream!" Schlatt exclaimed.

Dream turned. He leaned against the balcony, and calmly nodded, "Hello."

"So," Schlatt swung his sword from side to side, "I think you might know why I'm here."

"I don't know why entirely," Dream said, "But, I get what you're going to do."

"I'm going to kill you."

"Why?"

"For George!" Schlatt spat, "You took an innocent boy and locked him up?! What's the matter with you, monster?!"

"George..." Dream went quiet, "Did he get home okay?"

"Wha- What?! Yeah! He had to escape from you!" shouted Schlatt, "You're gonna pay for it!"

Dream said nothing.

"I also really could care less about George," Schlatt laughed about his previous lie, "I really want this castle, though. I'd be a richer man."

Schlatt took a step closer to Dream, "George isn't worth killin' for, I'm only doing all this for power."

"I'd kill for him." muttered Dream.

"You'd what? Speak up, monster!"

"I said," Dream stepped closer to Schlatt this time, "I would kill for him."

"Weirdo," Schlatt rolled his eyes, "You don't know him, he's just a weak ol' villager. He can't even fight!"

"I don't know him?!" Dream rose his voice, "I clearly know him better than you, if you're calling him a weak villager!"

"He's weak, and he's a villager," Schlatt promptly stated, "I'm not wrong!"

"You're stupid," Dream shook his head, "George, he has got to be the strongest person I've ever met."

"Are we talking about the same George?" Schlatt scrunched up his face, "Because, you're talkin' false, if you're talkin' about my George."

"Your George?" Dream grew angry, "YOUR George?!"

Schlatt stomped through the remaining distance between him and Dream, shoving the masked man to the floor of the balcony, "Don't get chesty with me, big guy."

"He's not yours," Dream coughed, "You don't own him, he's a person!"

"I'll own him right after I kill you," Schlatt chuckled menacingly, "He'll be impressed with how I slayed the evil man who tortured him."

"I never hurt him," Dream yelled, "I'd never hurt him!"

11:48 pm

George bursted through the doors of the castle, pushing through Punz and Skeppy.

"George?!" called out Bad, "George, you're not supposed to be here!"

"I don't care." George sternly said, as he shoved Bad away from him, as well.

"George!" the familiar voice of Quackity, who flew above him in the air, called out, "Hurry! George hurry, the times almost out!"

"Time?!"

"The hourglass, George!" sprung in the voice of Wilbur, who was hopping in from the same hallway George's room was, "George, the curse! You're the only one!"
